[Complications related to the administration of iodinated contrast media].
Improvement brought to iodinated molecules aims to obtain an optimal enhancement effect together with a lower toxicity. However, benign adverse events remain a common risk, and anaphylactoid reactions from the intravascular administration of iodinated contrast media may occur at random and are unpredictable. Although most contrast reactions are mild and self-limited, severe and even life-threatening reactions can occur at any time and for any kind of agent. Physicians must be aware of possible complications related to administration of this kind of agents and must be able to identify patients at risk, to care for prevention and prescribe an appropriate premedication regimen.
